    Epic theme ! I love the 51's Elle...
    I don't like blue-white-red very much because I'm italian and there's always this competition with France... but I love the stars, and the ' alternative ' patriotism too, like in historic references or so...
    Anyway, the post is really great !

    And thanks for the comment, I should totally make that post !

    Me encanta cuando se juega con estos tres colores, azul, blanco y rojo, ya sea en la versión marinero, en el rollo verano Hamptons o directamente barras y estrellas. Es una debilidad la que tengo con esta combinación, me fascina. Es fresca, infantil, masculina y femenina, y muy sofisticada. Por cierto, excelente selección de pendientes de aro en el post anterior. Un saludo.
